Everyone needs to understand that they are trying to get Rojas the experience in the majors and get him seeing major league pitching. They believe sending him down will do nothing for him; he's not going to develop without seeing ML pitching (Dombrowski mentioned this is an interview with WIP). I personally think they are giving him a very long leash and are going to give him time. Maybe if he doesn't improve that means playing him less but he won't be sent down ANY time soon. They want him for his defense and they've been VERY clear about that.

@here4baseball_ I’m sorry, but we can’t have an automatic out hitting 9th.
@here4baseball_ Or until we trade him for Trout? 😄
@here4baseball_ For every out at the plate he makes, there are at least five balls to the outfield that he's going to get to, where someone else would not have. More than once yesterday I got nervous for a split second only to realize he was under the ball with ease. He's not going anywhere.
@here4baseball_ This is definitely fair and I understand the clubs standpoint, but it’s difficult for me to reconcile a +++ glove with a BA of .045.
